I have something I need to tell you.
Questions. Observations. Cozy games, books, or shows I can't stop recommending. Ideas that started as a passing thought and somehow ended with fourteen browser tabs open.
Every month, at least one of those things wins.
Congratulations. It's your problem now, too.
As is customary with letters, there will also be a return address. If you ever feel like writing back, I'd genuinely love that. No pressure.
I still think “I thought you'd enjoy this” is a perfectly good reason to mail somebody something.

Every month, you'll find one thing in your mailbox that isn't trying to sign you up for replacement windows.
Inside you'll find:
One real letter written by me. Not mass-produced. Not AI-generated. Just whatever fascinating rabbit hole I've wandered into lately.
The occasional surprise. Sometimes there might be a little extra tucked inside the envelope. Sometimes there won't. That's part of the fun.
A reason to check your mailbox that has absolutely nothing to do with bills, credit card offers, or political flyers. (I know, right?)

1️⃣ Sign up once.
Your subscription renews monthly until you decide otherwise.2️⃣ Check your mailbox.
Sometime during the first week of each month, an envelope will be mailed out with your name on it.3️⃣ Open it.
Preferably with coffee. Or tea. Or while hiding from your responsibilities for five minutes. I'm not here to micromanage. -
Delivery: Mailed once each month, usually during the first week.
Format: A physical letter delivered through the actual postal service. Like it's 1994 again.
Subscription: Monthly. Cancel anytime.
Extras: Some months the envelope may include a little surprise. Some months it'll just be a really good letter.
Founding Member Pricing: I'm opening this up to just 10 founding members. Partly because I want to keep it genuinely personal. Partly because I'd like to make sure the idea works before I start licking hundreds of envelopes.
Founding members will lock in the introductory rate of $23/month for as long as they remain subscribed.
Once those first ten spots are filled (or this has become delightfully unmanageable), the price will increase.

Wait... an actual letter?
Yep.
Like... in an envelope. With a stamp and everything.
Honestly, the U.S. Postal Service has been waiting for a comeback.
So... what am I actually reading?
Whatever I've accidentally become fascinated by lately.
Writing. Creativity. Board games. A strange observation. A ridiculous story. An idea that refused to mind its own business.
Beyond that, I make very few promises.
Will everyone get the exact same thing?
Mostly.
Maybe not.
The core letter will be the same, because half the fun is getting to nerd out over the same thing together.
But I’ve learned not to make promises Future Carly might immediately improve upon.
Can I write back?
Absolutely.
I'd genuinely love that.
(Fair warning: It may encourage me to find something else I have to share.)
When will I get my first letter?
I usually mail letters during the first week of each month.
If you happen to join right after they've gone out, I won't make you wait a month.
I'll get something headed your way as soon as I reasonably can.
Is this a newsletter?
Not really.
Newsletters are designed to be skimmed between meetings.
This is designed to be opened, read, folded back up, and maybe left on your kitchen counter for a day because something in it kept rattling around your brain.
What if I move?
Just email me before the next mailing, and I'll happily update your address.
What if I decide it's not for me?
No hard feelings.
You can cancel your membership anytime from your account, and you won't be charged again after your current billing period.
If anything ever gets weird or you can't find the button, just send me an email. We'll figure it out.
